Experienced IT Professional and Freelancer Specialising in Microsoft Office and Google Productivity Suite Integration
As a seasoned programmer with extensive experience in both corporate and freelance IT work, I have developed deep expertise in Microsoft and Google Productivity Suite software, particularly in their integration with web technologies. Since transitioning to freelance work after a fulfilling full-time career, I’ve completed over 100 diverse projects across industries such as finance, engineering, sales, stock management, and various hobby-related fields.
One of the greatest pleasures of freelancing is the variety it brings, allowing me to tackle unique challenges with innovative solutions. My goal is to leverage the broad knowledge I’ve gained over the years to deliver customized solutions—whether the problem is large or small—that eliminate IT barriers, allowing you to focus on what really matters. I am dedicated to exceeding your expectations with a first-class solution tailored to your needs.
Commercial IT Experience
Prior to freelancing, I held various roles as a programmer, tester, and designer, eventually moving into management positions. My 10+ years as a contractor included managing the design, testing, and deployment of software for a range of high-profile clients, including major banks, a telecom company, and Sony’s PlayStation website. With experience at both the coding and client-facing levels, I am uniquely positioned to bridge the gap between technical solutions and user-friendly design.

Work Terms
As I work from home, I can be quite flexible about working and often work additional hours when a job is in progress. The only exception to this is when I'm travelling when I'm only able to provide ad-hoc and urgent support.
My normal means of contact is messaging and Skype.
All payments should be made through SafePay. Unless the job is particularly large and long, I normally take payment at the end of a job when we are both happy with the outcome. Consequently I would like payment to be made as quickly as possible and certainly no longer than 7 days from presenting the invoice.
